Joe Quigley joins the Exiles on loan from AFC Bournemouth until January

Newport County AFC are delighted to announce the loan signing of striker Joe Quigley. The 20-year old striker comes in as the manger continues to strengthen his options upfront.

Joe is tall, strong and a handful for any defence and – as well as impressing in AFC Bournemouth’s academy – has proven himself on loans including a spell at fellow Welsh side Wrexham and a loan spell at Gillingham where he played alongside Summer-signing Frank Nouble.

On finalising the deal, Manager Michael Flynn said: “I’m delighted to get Joe in. He did well at Gillingham before getting an injury last season and he’s got a really good fighting spirit and attitude. He can run in behind so it gives us more of a central figure if we want three upfront but he can also play in a two as-well.”

In an exclusive interview with iFollowExiles this morning, Joe said: “I’m delighted to sign a loan deal at Newport County. I’ve come in this morning and I knew a couple of the lads before but they’ve all been sound. It’s a Club on the up and I’m delighted to be here for the journey.”

Welcome Joe Quigley to the Club at “The Homecoming Match” vs Chesterfield FC on the 26th August 2017.
